Series I: C. L. R. James, 1974-1990, 2003

Series I documents Howe's close relationship with and efforts on behalf of his cousin C. L. R. James, from 1974 until shortly after the latter's death in 1989. The series includes audio recordings, transcripts, and photographs of lectures given by C. L. R. James, as well as lectures given in James' honor by other scholars and activists including Grace Lee Boggs, Tim Hector, and Darcus Howe. Among these events are C. L. R. James' 80th Birthday Lectures in 1981 and the opening lectures from the 1986 Focus on C. L. R. James exhibit. Correspondence, photographs, audio recordings, and print and video news coverage document C. L. R. James' 1989 funeral and burial in Trinidad. There is a small amount of correspondence related to Howe's involvement in managing James' personal affairs and settling James' estate. Materials related to the Race Today Collective's 1991 reconstitution as the C. L. R. James Institute are located in Series III.

Series II contains material related to Darcus Howe's political and community activism outside of his work with the Race Today Collective. It includes publications and printed ephemera related to the British Black Panther Movement. There is a small group of annotated witness statements from a 1969-1970 court case regarding an incident of police brutality toward David Oscar Cadogan. There is also material related to the Mangrove Nine Trial, including newsletters and printed ephemera distributed by community organizations associated with the British Black Panther Movement during the trial, and annotated court records obtained by Howe in 1990 for his own research. Materials created after the Mangrove Nine Trial include correspondence, newsletters and other publications, and speech transcripts related to the Trinidadian New Beginning Movement. There are also various audiovisual recordings and transcripts of speeches made by Darcus Howe and interviews of Darcus Howe. Much of Howe's later writing is located in Series III and IV. However, a 1998 proposal for a never-published memoir, England, My England, is located in this series.

Series III: Race Today Collective and C. L. R. James Institute, 1971-1996

Series III includes material associated with the Race Today Collective and its successor organization, the C. L. R. James Institute. Documentation of the Race Today Collective's activities includes bylaws and budget information from circa 1978, audiotapes of Collective meetings and literature study sessions from the late 1980s, and some Race Today editorial correspondence. The latter comprises primarily reprinting permissions and letters to the editor, as well as routine correspondence related to secretarial work and some general discussion of political issues in Trinidad and Tobago and other former British colonies in the Caribbean and Africa. There is a full run of the journal Race Today and a small number of Race Today Publications monographs. A comparatively large group of material related to the United States' 1983 invasion of Grenada includes diaries kept by Race Today Collective member Gus John and a person called Christine in Carriacou documenting the situation in Grenada. This series also contains four folders of Darcus Howe Action Committee material. Finally, there is material related to the Collective's 1991 dissolution and reconstitution as the C. L. R. James Institute, circa 1991-1996. These include meeting minutes, plans and applications for charity status, and even architectural drawings of a proposed cultural center and cafe. The relationship between this C. L. R. James Institute and the one founded in New York City in 1984—if any—is unclear.
